Looking to cut the cable and ditch the dish

Steve I have a firestick and a antenna. If your a amazon prime member you get alot of movies also. 4 years now and no complaints.
 
Still better than paying for, I’m a AM radio fan,1120KMOX , and I lost my two other favs that were 1190 & a oldies.. sounds so good playing thru my tube radio... I just like good radio am or fm and good tv limited bs!
1190...the Grim Reaper of radio!
Check out KXEN, 1010.
I miss being AM in the PM.
When going to broadcast TV get the best antenna you can afford. The ones that say they are good for 30 miles aren't and so on and so on.
 
Roku now supports Rumble as many conservatives have had to switch to after being kicked off You tube. Rumble is making some good changes to get better.
 
Spectrum, it rhymes with rectum! Their bundle just helps them extract more money every month. They suck bad, their price just keeps going up, just like WA state gas taxes.

I called spectrum About the raise in rates and got no sympathy. So when I called to cancel then they wanted to give deals and make adjustments. Too late I told them, I already signed up with another cable provider.
 
If you do cut the proverbial cord
stay away from anything
Amazon (owned), Netflix, Google (owned), Youtube
or any Alphabet Networks another media monopoly
don't feed the beast
Please give some examples of things to join onto that’s a good thing. I don’t know all that’s out there but you named all the big ones.

sorry
I'm not all that up on all the other options
probably someone in the younger crowd could help more

My 85 y/o father lives with me & he loves his cable, when he's awake
I can't cut the proverbial cord "yet"
I'd have an insurrection on my hands :poke:
he can barely use a TV remote, let alone some other hi-Tech stuff
too stubborn to learn too :(

1st I'd say trust & verify before signing up for anything

I do know most of that I listed,
I noted above are the extreme/bias media sources
anti-constitutionalist anti-free speech huge monopolies
or big tech owns/'ed by them
especially the Alphabet media Group, look it up

good luck, sorry not much help

Rabbit ears here... costs me NOTHING and I get over 40 channels... Tired of everyones hand out taking my money
Yes I have been doing the antenna thing for 10 years. But there is stuff you just miss .
 
I have Netflix and the programming sucks more and more each month. You look in the category for 80's movies and it lists half foreign movies that are dubbed. You get a couple decent movies and a shitload of Series shows. If it wasn't for the DVDs I would drop them.
 
I just dropped ATT that I had for everything (Cell, home phone, TV and internet)have three boys and the wife with Cell phones so all together was almost 600.00 a month. Went to T-mobile for the phones all 5 are 140.00, internet (earthlink) 65.00, YouTube TV has most all channels I watch 65.00. I already have Amazon Prime which I like but love watching Supercross and the wife likes some other channels so trying the YouTube TV Plus it has 6 users for all the kids to record what they want.
 
No TV since 1997. Do it & don't look back. It's much better to search for information than to have it fed to you.
 
Whatever I use, currently Verizon, they would have to have the Hallmark Channel, the wife watches it often.....Christmas in July has to be the worst but if it makes her happy than its a done deal LOL!!!!
 
I had around 40 channels with the free digital signal when I lived in Maryland. Then I moved here and could only get about three and they were in and out. Doing a little research I found that there is a online map of where the signals are for your area. I'm definitely in a "hole" from where I lived before.

Check this out before spending money on any antennas. They won't do you any good if you're in a bad area. The government passed a bill that all broadcasters have to broadcast a digital signal through the air but it doesn't say where it has to direct the signal.

My Mother-In-Law binge watches the Hallmark channel. I would rather clamp my nuts with a vice-grip. :lol:

I'm in the same boat as you brother, my wife even decorates the bathrooms. And that is EVERY holiday!!! But she leaves me alone so I let her have at it. :thumbsup:

BTW, My wife is a Christmas baby!!
